"Holiday Road"

Okay, so this isn't in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, but it makes me think of the National Lampoon's series (the good ones, at least) and Christmas Vacation is one of two my go-to movies during the time of year. And apparently it is for the Walkmen too, since they decided to cover it as part of A.V. Club's Holiday Undercover Series.


The Walkmen cover "Holiday Road"

Wondering what the other movie is? The Ref with Denis Leary. "Do you know what this family needs? A mute." Classic!

New music

Let's kick this off with a cool video for the alternate version of "Terrible Love." I dig the way it's shot and edited and think the end does a pretty good job of capturing the energy of The National in concert (without actually being there, of course).

• The Low Anthem, "Ghost Woman Blues," Smart Flesh (Feb 22nd), TwentyFourBit

"Woman Friend"

Not sure why it took me six years to discover this gem off of Chromeo's She's in Control, but I am just thankful that I finally did. Come home one night from work and crank this sucker for your best lady... you won't be sorry, I promise.

"The Wanting Comes in Waves"

I saw this on Palladia or one of those other music channels months ago and was finally able to find it online. The song is my favorite from The Hazards of Love and this live version from ACL (maybe two years ago) ignites a fire in my belly. The sound, the theatrics, the harshness and beauty all rolled into one. Oh yeah, and the pipes on Shara Worden... goddamn!

"Let 'em have it"

I don't know if Philly fans need any encouragement, but this is still a great sound bite from JRoll. Wish I could be at Citizens Bank Park tonight for the game. Go Phils!
